Channel 4's Unreported World Series

"15 and Learning to Speak"






Unreported World is a critically acclaimed TV series which focuses on the lives of people in some of the fastest-changing areas of the world. You need to sign up to watch on demand, but it's free and easy to do. 
The documentaries are all around 20-25 mins in length, which makes them suitable for using in the classroom.
This particular programme is amazing to watch. It follows the inspirational work of sign language teachers transforming the lives of deaf children and adults in Uganda who have never been able to communicate in their lives and who are often treated badly at home because they are deaf.
I've created a simple handout for this documentary (suitable for B1 +) 
You could also pre-teach some useful vocabulary before watching e.g. remote/ boarding school etc. if you think this will help your students.
